It's nice to know that some things simply will never change. There's a whole list of things that fall into this category, but right now I'm thinking of the stubborn love of a dear man - or would that be the friendly love of a dear, stubborn man? Either way, even though there have been no claims of eternity or forever, I know I'll have his love and friendship for the rest of our lives. I'm glad he and I have never hooked up romantically; his friendship is way too important.
